Sentiment Analysis shows the types of responses and questions needing refinement for additional coverage
Heat Maps can be automatically generated using base models such as Business Capabilities, Information Landscapes, Value Streams, Organizational Views and Technical Reference Models

The Criteria for all these Charts and Models can be adjusted on-the-fly to support rich analysis and to compare scenarios to support discovery of Functional Redundancy, Strategic Fit, and Application Business and Technical Health
